[Rcpp-devel] RcppArmadillo 0.8.399.0.0 off Armadillo 8.400.rc1

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Conrad released a first release candidate for Armadillo 8.400. I wrapped this
up as 0.8.399.0.0 (so that R's version sorting can allow later 0.8.400.*
releases) and put it into the rcpp-drat at https://rcppcore.github.io/drat/

Via
   drat:::add("RcppCore")
   install.packages("RcppArmadillo")
you can get the source tarball.  Please test this.

Conrad's notes:
  8.400-RC1 (Release Candidate 1) contains new features, enhancements, speedups and bug fixes.
  Available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/arma/files/armadillo-8.400-RC1.tar.xz
  Please test and report any issues.

  Changes:
  - faster handling of sparse matrices by repmat()
  - faster loading of CSV files
  - expanded kron() to handle sparse matrices
  - expanded index_min() and index_max() to handle cubes
  - expanded randi(), randu(), randn(), randg() to output single scalars
  - added submatrix & subcube iterators
  - added normcdf()
  - added chi2rnd() for generation of chi-squared random numbers
  - added wishrnd() and iwishrnd() for generation of random Wishart matrices
